Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911.

  • Logo Isotta Fraschini
    La storia del logo Isotta Fraschini Isotta Fraschini Nazione Italia Fondazione 1900 a Milano Fondata da Cesare Isotta Vincenzo Fraschini Oreste Fraschini Antonio Fraschini Chiusura 1949 Settore casa automobilistica Prodotti automobili e motori automobilistici, marini e per l'aviazione Isotta Fraschini è un marchio italiano storicamente noto soprattutto per la produzione di automobili tra le più lussuose e prestigiose della storia. Fu fondata a Milano nel 1900 ad opera di Cesare Isotta e dei fratelli Vincenzo, Oreste e Antonio Fraschini. Le prime automobili prodotte dalla casa milanese nacquero nel 1902: una con un motore Aster di 699 cm3, una a due cilindri di 2251 cm3 ed infine una con un motore De Dion-Bouton di 785 cm3. Nel 1903 l'azienda produsse una vettura equipaggiata con motore autocostruito della potenza di 24 CV. Storia Nel 1905 l'ingegnere Giustino Cattaneo diventò direttore tecnico del marchio milanese e ad esso rimarrà legato fino al 1933. Nel 1907,in seguito ad un accordo che prevedeva anche la partecipazione dei francesi al capitale azionario della azienda, De Dietrich acquisì i diritti per la produzione di 500 autotelai Isotta Fraschini. Questo fatto, unito anche ai successi nelle competizioni sportive, ebbe un grande effetto positivo sul prestigio della Casa. Un altro successo di Isotta Fraschini avvenne nel 1908, quando negli USA una vettura appartenente alla Casa milanese stabilì un record di velocità media: 105 km/h. Sempre nel 1908 venne progettata la Tipo FE, un'auto dalle caratteristiche tecniche molto avanzate per l'epoca che suscitò grande interesse, così come ne destò la Tipo KM, un'auto sportiva prodotta dal 1911 al 1914, equipaggiata con un motore di ben 10.618 cm3.

  • Maserati: 100
    Date: 1 December 2014 Maserati: 100 years today The Maserati Centennial reaches its conclusion: from today, a plaque at no.1 via de’ Pepoli in Bologna will permanently recall the company’s first workshop, opened on 1 December 1914 - one hundred years today. One hundred years ago today, Alfieri Maserati and his brothers Ettore and Ernesto began what was to become a triumphant chapter in Italian automotive history. It was on Tuesday 1 December 1914, at number 1A via de’ Pepoli, in the heart of Bologna, that the three brothers opened their “car repair workshop and garage”. The “one-man business registration application” was submitted ten days later at the nearby Palazzo della Mercanzia, in what is now home to the Bologna Chamber of Commerce. The application was accepted and registered four days later. This was the start of Maserati’s long history - based in Bologna until 1939, centred in Modena since then and launched at high speed on the world’s roads today. A plaque, affixed by Bologna City Council in association with Maserati, will permanently recall the Maserati brothers’ first historic Bologna workshop. The plaque reads as follows: “Società Anonima Officine Alfieri Maserati” was founded in this building on 1 December 1914.Thanks to the genius and labours of Alfieri and his brothers Ettore, Ernesto and Bindo the company went on to gain international fame and prestige thus contributing to the world’s awareness of Bologna’s excellent industrial identity. Maserati and Bologna City Council in the year of the Centennial “The plaque is a symbolic tribute to an anniversary of fundamental importance to Maserati.
